not scary story

Qiao Xia, who was watching from a distance, waited until all the ghosts were wiped out, and said "don't come down" to Yan Jiu, before jumping into the foundation pit by himself.

The priests, who were older than Zhang Ruiyao and the others combined, looked slightly ugly.The abilities of these two young men are indeed astonishing, but these priests are sure of victory, and the reason why they took their time is to show off their skills. All these credits are taken away.

Do you understand the rules of respecting elders?

As soon as Qiao Xia appeared in front of them, these priests who had been robbed of the limelight began to complain: "These children are really foolish! Our purpose is to save the wandering souls who have been swallowed by ghosts. Now they only care about killing ghosts, but they don't destroy these broken things. Gather the scattered souls, how can we send them back to the underworld later!"

"These young people are too murderous. Now their souls are frightened and scattered, and it is difficult to appease. The Fang family did not agree to bring passers-by. There are two hours before the gate of hell will be closed. What can we do now?"

"Now we can only close this place, and wait for tomorrow to come one by one."

"But tomorrow we will leave City G, and this can only be done by other people."

Each person spoke with complaints, and the voice was loud enough for two people not far away to hear.

Qiao Yuan, who was thinking, sneered, and said to Zhang Ruiyao: "Okay, then let me see your ability. You go and drive away the idlers first, or my guide won't be able to come out."

Zhang Ruiyao smiled indifferently, turned around and walked over. Under the complicated eyes of the priests, he explained humbly: "Actually, we brought a guide, because we don't have much time, so we didn't talk to the priests. Explain. The identity of this guide is relatively secret, and I hope that the priests will forgive me and avoid it, and we will deal with it next."

His attitude is completely different from when he provoked Qiao Yuan just now, and it completely fits the image he created when he was at Fang's house during the day.

Hearing that a new guide had appeared, the Taoist priests immediately became commotion.

This is a temptation for any serious practitioner.Being able to deal with the underworld is as awesome as having an extra underworld as a backstage. Who wouldn't want an ambitious person?

If guides did not appear in every generation, how could the Fang family be as brilliant as it is today?

"Why can't we meet? We won't force him to go with us," You Daoist looked at Zhang Ruiyao suspiciously: "Or, you are the one..."

"Hehe," Zhang Ruiyao waved his hand, "This guide is still young, so don't be impatient, he will show up by himself when he matures, and it doesn't matter how you want to persuade him, but now, he is There's no way it will come out."

The priests looked at each other.Of course they are impatient, if they don't rob, other people will naturally come to rob. Once this rare guide forms the only traction relationship with someone, what else do they have to do?

Of course Zhang Ruiyao understands their concerns, and he himself has such thoughts. If others tell him that, even if he wants to walk away, he will definitely hide in the dark to investigate who is so lucky to find a guide.

However, now he is one of the few people who understand this secret, so of course he wants to become Qiao Yuan's offensive and defensive ally.

"Seniors, please?" Zhang Ruiyao put his hands in his pockets, his imposing manner already faintly persuasive.

The priests looked unhappy, but it would be too ugly to persist, so they could only reluctantly agree verbally.Unexpectedly, the officer Joe who brought them here proposed smilingly to drive them all back to their residences, so that there would be no room for them to stay.

Everyone can only leave unwillingly.

Qiao Xia had already notified Shen Yutao to come over, and the other party was even more exaggerated, borrowing a minibus from another department, and politely transported the group of Taoist priests back to the hotel.

Before leaving, Shen Yutao quietly handed a magic weapon to Qiao Xia. After Qiao Xia and the others finished walking, he threw the magic weapon to Qiao Yuan: "The demon-binding rope you want."

Zhang Ruiyao was very surprised: "You even have this thing?" The demon rope is less used than the fairy rope, because the former is often used on some weak soul bodies, but weak soul bodies are not used to bind ?Just use a spell to freeze it.

It's just that there are too many wandering souls now, and the demon binding rope just comes in handy.

"No way, our department is very profitable. Whenever I have money, I will buy magic weapons." Qiao Xia remembered that when he first took over the department, he was so poor that he couldn't even afford a decent car. Now they purchase a lot of equipment. It's totally possible to open a museum.

Zhang Ruiyao had a complicated expression.The two young masters of the Qiao family are both masters with personalities that make people headaches, and I don't know what the Qiao family will look like in their hands from this generation on.

Opening the demon-binding rope, Qiao Yuan stood in the center of the foundation pit, and threw the demon-binding rope out of a big circle in mid-air. The spell in his other hand started to burn while he was chanting the spell, and the fire spread along the demon-binding rope. Soon, a bright circle of flames was drawn in the air. Before the flames disappeared, Zhang Ruiyao led the flames from the demon rope to the talisman paper in his hand, and at the same time, he moved the thick stack of talisman papers beautifully. Throw it into the air.

The talisman papers are neatly arranged above the demon-binding rope to form a horn-shaped spiral ring with upward layers, and the mouth of the horn forms a huge suction force, sucking all the surrounding souls to the center.Yan Jiu knelt by the wall of the pit, staring dumbfounded at the souls floating around. Under the joint efforts of the two, they were all tightly bound with demon ropes without too much trouble, just like a bunch of souls who are about to be escorted to the execution ground. the prisoner.

Qiao Xia was secretly surprised by the first cooperation between the two in one go.Qiao Yuan is good at fighting alone. Even if he cooperates with Yang Si, Yang Si will only play the role of icing on the cake. The effect of mutual promotion like now is only achieved by Zhang Ruiyao.

After packing up all the souls, Qiao Yuan, who was pulling one end of the chain, shouted "Come down" to Yan Jiu, and Zhang Ruiyao watched the coward slid down from above, and stood obediently in front of Qiao Yuan.

"Take it." Qiao Yuan handed him the chain.

Yan Jiu swallowed her saliva, tremblingly took over the binding rope.

"I've been there so many times, are you still afraid?" Qiao Yuan patted his face lightly, "Behave better, besides me, that guy will also look at you. The eyes of this crow are ours. Eyes, we'll watch you do your job. Be brave."

"A crow?" Before Yan Jiu had time to be surprised, the dark crow landed firmly on his shoulder.

The faint yin energy coming from under the feathers made Yan Jiu a little uneasy, but when she thought of having her elder brother watching this time, she finally felt less nervous.

Zhang Ruiyao and Qiao Yuan sat cross-legged facing each other, and let Yan Jiu lie in the center of the magic circle. One and a half hours before 12 o'clock in the morning, the ghost magic circle started.

An hour and a half... Qiao Xia looked at his watch, recalling the time when Yan Jiu left his soul last time, and felt nervous.

Yan Jiu never mentioned the method of his return, as if it was difficult for him to go, but it was very casual when he came back.

But today is different.This bunch of weak souls are all innocent souls who have been tempered by Huang Quandao and came out to eat ancestors' meals during the Hungry Ghost Festival. Yan Jiu can no longer send them to the Wangchuan River and come back as in the past, but must take them with him. Lead them through the gate of hell.

But what if you can't come back before the ghost door closes?

Qiao Xia frowned, and finally understood why her cousin, who had always distrusted others, would agree to such a risky exchange of conditions.

It was also from this moment that he finally confirmed that the relationship between the two children was not just a play.

One believes in the other with all his heart, and the other tries his best to defend this trust. Both of them are working hard in their own way.Even though they are not used to holding hands yet, their bond with each other has already deepened to such an extent.

"All living beings, mastering the nether world, blue dragon and white tiger, battles are divided, Suzaku Xuanwu, guarding my spirit..." Qiao Yuan's singing was very pleasant, and Yan Jiu closed her eyes, slowly getting used to the feeling of the soul leaving the body.

Lihun again, with a chain in his hand and a crow on his shoulder.

Yan Jiu took a deep breath and strode out.

"The gate of hell, the gate of hell, the gate of hell..." He kept thinking about this place in his heart, hoping that a dark road would emerge under his feet like before, but no matter how long he walked, the surroundings were still pitch black, only the iron chain dragged in his hand There was still a trace of flame flowing faintly.

There was a flash of panic in Yan Jiu's heart.This time is different from before, the time limit is strangled there, he must find the way as soon as possible.

He gritted his teeth, simply closed his eyes and rushed forward, the iron chain in his hand was getting heavier and heavier, until it was so heavy that he could only drag it with both hands.

The crow screamed, as if urging him to hurry up.

How can you lose face when there are outsiders watching!

Yan Jiu was so anxious that her eyes were red, she just stood there and yelled towards the empty surroundings: "Where is the gate of hell?! Is there a ghost? Who can show me the way!"

There was no response to his yelling.

Yan Jiu was very helpless, Ming Crow hovered in front of him, he met Ming Crow's eyes, and after a while, he took another step.

He is the guide.Although the members of the Fang family were unwilling to admit it, even the picky Qiao Yuan never denied it, and he never refused to meet him. He even successfully extradited several undead.

Why do you say that he is not a guide!

He pursed his lips tightly, tugged on the chain, and continued walking in the direction he thought possible.

Darkness can inspire fear and despair, especially when you lose your sense of direction. Darkness is like a flood that submerges your head, slowly suffocating in your struggle.

Yan Jiu's gums were trembling. In order to cheer himself up, he simply walked forward while singing. Finally, when he was almost unable to drag the chain, a river appeared in front of him.

It was not the Wangchuan River he had seen before, but a small river full of river lanterns.Yan Jiu noticed that the river lantern was full of all kinds of small people. Thinking of the river lantern he saw in Xihe Town, he suddenly had the courage to step on the palm-sized lotus lantern.

Miraculously, the lotus lantern made of paper not only survived being crushed by him, but also supported him firmly on the river.

Yan Jiu walked a few more steps in the direction of the river lantern, and was surprised to find that the iron chain in his hand had lost weight. Looking back, all the dead souls who were bundled into a ball were floating on the river.

He breathed a sigh of relief, stepped on the river lamp and walked forward quickly. After walking for an unknown amount of time, he finally saw an astonishingly large black wooden door.

This wooden door, which is at least [-] meters high, is engraved with ghosts and monsters of various expressions. On the doorknob, there are giant statues of Shen Tu and Yu Lei. From Yan Jiu's perspective, it looks like two generals are approaching him. Come on.

He shuddered, knowing that he had finally found the ghost gate, and stretched out his hand to push it, but the gate remained motionless.

...Do you want to knock on the door?

He smiled self-deprecatingly, and knocked his hand twice in boredom.

Just when he was about to try to open the door for the second time, a voice suddenly asked from the tower next to the door: "Who is here?!"

Yan Jiu was taken aback and almost let go of the chain in his hand.He raised his head tremblingly, trying to find out who was speaking, only to find a hideous-faced ghost messenger holding a trident standing under the tower at some point.

"Who are you? A living soul, why did you drag a group of dead souls here?"

It was the first time Yan Jiu spoke to a ghost messenger other than black and white, and her voice was a little trembling: "I am a guide, and I want to send these injured souls back to the gate of ghosts, and leave as soon as they are delivered."

"Guide?" The ghost guard looked at him suspiciously, took out the booklet in his hand, and flipped through it: "I just passed a guide, and he held a guide, do you have a guide?"

Yan Jiu was dumbfounded.When he was studying in the Fang family, he had heard that guides who passed the examination would get a "Guide" handed down from generation to generation by the Fang family as a proof of identity.But no one told him what the wild guide would use to prove his identity.

"...Or, I'll stop here, and you can help send it back?" He suggested cautiously.

"How courageous! How dare you bring dead souls here without a guide! What if there are untrained souls mixed in!" The ghost messenger was furious, and the trident in his hand immediately pointed at Yan Jiu's neck, scaring him. Almost slumped on the ground.

Damn dick!Who knew you were going to get a pass here!You are not from Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan!

Yan Jiu was so frightened that her adrenaline surged, she hurriedly knelt down and begged for mercy: "If you don't believe me, ask Black and White Impermanence! They recognize me. I have been to the underworld several times, but no one told me where to apply for a certificate. I also ask the ghost messenger to guide me!"

"Of course no one can tell you." The ghost officer snorted coldly, "Black and white impermanence is a rare vacation today, no ghost can testify for you. If you really guide the way, you will find your own way. No matter your soul Wherever it goes, it will always listen to your call and come back to you.”

Yan Jiu was surprised: "It will appear by itself?"

"No matter where you are, as long as it is your guide, it will definitely appear when you need it."

when needed?no matter when?

For some reason, what he thought of was the flawed bronze mirror.

"Bronze mirror?" Just as his thoughts flashed, the bronze mirror suddenly appeared in his hand.

He stared wide-eyed, looked at the bronze mirror in disbelief, stayed for a while, and then subconsciously searched for the ghost crow.

He knew that Qiao Yuan must be looking at him.He wanted to cheer, jump up, and laugh, but he still suppressed his emotions, and asked the ghost with trembling lips: "Do you think this is it?"

The ghost messenger took the bronze mirror and put the mirror in a large disc.

There was a sound of opening the ghost gate.

Yan Jiu's eyes were red, he stared at the bronze mirror, and almost didn't hear the ghost guard say "you can go in".He took back the bronze mirror, wiped and wiped the mirror surface with the corner of his clothes, but suddenly a few tears dripped on it.

This is the first time he has been identified as a guide.

He has his own guide, which can open the door of hell. Nothing can be more credible than this evidence.

No matter what other people doubt, he can open the door of hell, and this is the proof.

Qiao Yuan, did you see that?I am the guide!

I'm!

The corners of his mouth were sunken, his teeth were clenched tightly, and he still couldn't control the tears that spewed out violently.

Although his facial features were distorted from crying, he still held his head high and held the demon rope, and stepped into the ghost gate.

In front of him was a very familiar Heihe River, Yan Jiu was stunned, he didn't understand why it was still the Wangchuan River after passing through the ghost gate.However, the only bridge on the river surprised him even more.

Isn't this the Naihe bridge that sometimes disappears?

Why did you come here?

"Huh?" The people on the bridge made a surprised voice.

Yan Jiu was angry again.

Just this voice, he will never forget it.It was the guy who appeared and disappeared after being chased by a ghost last time!

With anger, he actually ignored the bones rolling under the bridge like aniseed ingredients in Chongqing hot pot, and walked towards Naihe Bridge.

After getting closer, I found a young woman dressed in ancient clothes standing on the bridge. The woman had a face that would distract a man when he saw it. She was soft and charming, but just by looking at her eyes, she knew that she was not a simple character.

"Hee hee, little brother, why are you here again?" The woman sat on the bridge pier, covering her mouth with her sleeves and chuckling.

"Excuse me, is the girl Meng Po?" Yan Jiu turned his anger back, and the humility on his face was still well done.

After all, this is their territory, okay?

What to do if you are pushed down!

Do you also follow those big ingredients and "let's shake the sun together"?

"Hee hee, come here and let my sister see what you look like." Po Meng sat there and waved her hands.

"Excuse me, what about these people... these ghosts?" You can't drag them across the bridge, right?

"Just push it into the river. Come on, come up quickly."

"..." So casual, why doesn't it feel like Meng Po, more like a vixen...

"Oh, you really mean it. Let go of them, and they can go to drink a bowl of soup by themselves, and then they can go to the Palace of the King of Hell." Granny Meng smiled like a flower, "Just sent away a little brother, that is too boring, let me Let me take a closer look at you."

"..." Is this really a vixen?Yan Jiu smiled dryly and didn't agree directly, but first went to untie the spell that tied the demon rope. As expected, the released souls lined up on the bridge obediently one by one, picked up a porcelain bowl on the bridge railing to drink up, and shook He crossed the bridge unsteadily and walked forward.

mission completed.

Yan Jiu was full of joy, and wanted to find the crow, but found that the crow was nowhere to be seen.

It didn't come?

Then no one saw how he completed the task? !

Yan Jiu was hit hard, and before he could recover, Granny Meng threatened sinisterly: "Aren't you coming up yet?"

The least intimidated person immediately moved over.

His cooperation made Granny Meng very happy. She squeezed and touched the ground to study Yan Jiu, and then she wondered for a long time: "It's strange, why are you so rich in merit?"

Yan Jiu has heard this question countless times. He wanted to explain that it was because of his mother's work, and he was just a second generation of meritorious wealth. Unexpectedly, Po Meng pushed him violently with a smile. In the middle, said: "Try it, you shouldn't die."

...I'll try your second uncle's bald donkey donkey donkey (Echo)! ! ! ! ! ! !

Yan Jiu felt heartbroken that he fell into the river, the black river water and tumbling bones completely submerged him.

save! ! !Life! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

He struggled desperately, but his body still sank rapidly.

He felt desperately that he had lost his hearing, smell and language abilities, leaving only a pair of eyes watching how he fell into the abyss...

why!

He obviously didn't do anything bad!

After experiencing despair twice a day, no normal person could bear it. Just when Yan Jiu was about to collapse, a white light suddenly appeared in front of his eyes.

White light appeared in the black river, like a fantasy in the river. In the fantasy, there was a man dressed as an ancient emperor, holding a bamboo slip, looking at the newly blooming lotus in the pond.

It was clearly an illusion, but the man seemed to have discovered the existence of Yan Jiu.He frowned slightly, scolded "nonsense" in a low voice, and slammed Yan Jiu out with a wave of his sleeve.

When Yan Jiu yelled "Wow", he realized that he had returned to his soul.As soon as he sat up, he was hugged by Qiao Yuan. The hands of this arrogant man were shaking. He hugged his head and put his lips against his face, as if confirming his existence.

Yan Jiu's eyes were still a little dull.

At the moment of returning to his soul, he still remembered a man dressed as an emperor. After he woke up, this memory became more and more blurred, and finally he even forgot all the scenes he saw in the river.

Didn't see what happened behind the gate, but also wanted to know how lonely and helpless a creature would be after crossing the ghost gate, Zhang Ruiyao shook his head and sighed: "I know it's not easy to be a guide, but after seeing it with my own eyes, I still call you A coward is a bit too much."

Yan Jiu was hugged and warmed for a long time before she recovered.

He grabbed Qiao Yuan's waist with his hands, leaned his head on it, and in turn comforted him in a low voice: "I'm back, I'm fine."

"It's okay, do you really know what happened to you just now? There are 2 minutes before the door of hell will be completely closed. You have been twitching just now. I thought you couldn't come back... Damn, next time something like this happens , even if the emperor comes to beg, we won't do it." Qiao Yuan hugged him tightly, and then stared at Qiao Xia, who was slightly guilty.

"Oh." The elder brother said what he said.It's better not to.Yan Jiu is quite obedient.

After a while, he became excited again: "Brother, I am really a guide, I have a guide!"

"I see." Qiao Yuan pinched his cheek, thinking bitterly, this heartless guy, shouldn't he be so moved at this moment that he agrees to life and death?Damn, she doesn't even know how to take the initiative in a kiss!
